Sembcorp Industries to boost cogen plant capacity by 400MW

But it warns of intensified competition in Singapore.

According to Maybank Kim Eng, SCI would add new capacity of 400MW to its cogen plant by Dec 2013. However it warns that with the completion of the LNG terminal in 2013 and addition of

2,400MW of new power generation capacity in Singapore over 2013 and 2014 would intensify competition, resulting in lower power prices.

Here's more from Maybank Kim Eng:

We thus expect at more moderate FY13F Utilities net margin of 6.3% (vs 7.2% for 1Q13) for the Utilities segment The long term value in SCI is the pipeline of utilities projects, scheduled to come onstream over 2013-2016.

These are progressing well and would add to its recurring revenue base, lending more stability to its income stream.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
